DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to novel tetrahydrocarbazole derivativesas ligands of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), in particular asligands of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor,processes of manufacturing thereof and uses for the treatment and/orprophylaxis of physiological and/or pathophysiological conditions inmammals, in particular in humans.

2. Description of Related Art

G-protein coupled receptors represent a superfamily of cellmembrane-associated receptors which play an important part in numerousbiochemical and pathobiochemical processes in mammals and especially inhumans. All GPCRs consist of seven hydrophobic, transmembranealpha-helical domains which are connected together by threeintracellular and three extracellular loops and have an extracellularamino terminus and an intracellular carboxy terminus. One or moreheterotrimeric G proteins are involved in their cellular signaltransduction. Diverse physiological stimuli such as photosensitivity,taste and odor, but also fundamental processes such as metabolism,reproduction and development are mediated and controlled by them. GPCRsexist for exogenous and endogenous ligands. Peptide hormones, biogenicamines, amino acids, nucleotides, lipids, Ca²⁺, but also photons, haveinter alia been identified as ligands; moreover one ligand may activatedifferent receptors.

According to a recent investigation, 367 sequences have been identifiedin the human genome for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) withendogenous ligands (Vassilatis D K et al., PNAS 2003, 100(8):4903-4908). Of these, 284 belong to class A, 50 to class B, 17 to classC and 11 to class F/S. Examples belonging to class A are the bombesin,the dopamine and the LHRH receptors, and to class B are the VIP and thecalcitonin receptors. The natural ligands for numerous GPCRs are as yetunknown.

Owing to their function, GPCRs are suitable as targets for medicamentsfor the therapy and prevention of a large number of pathologicalconditions. It is speculated that about 50% of currently known targetsfor active ingredients are GPCRs (Fang Y et al., DDT 2003, 8(16):755-761). Thus, GPCRs play an important part in pathological processessuch as, for example, pain (opioid receptor), asthma(beta2-adrenoceptor), migraine (serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptor), cancer(LHRH receptor), cardiovascular disorders (angiotensin receptor),metabolic disorders (GHS receptor) or depression (serotonin 5-HT_(1a)receptor) (Pierce K L et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3:639-650). General information about GPCRs is to be found underhttp://www.gpcr.org.

The natural ligand of this receptor, the peptide hormone LHRH, issynthesized in cells of the hypothalamus and released in pulsatilefashion from the hypothalamic neurons into the capillary plexus of theementia mediana. In the anterior lobe of the pituitary, LHRH binds tothe LHRH receptors of the gonadotropic cells and stimulates certaintrimeric G-proteins, which initiate a branched signal transductioncascade. The initial event is activation of phospholipase C, A₂ and/orD. This leads to an increased provision of the second messengersdiacylglycerol and IP₃, followed by Ca²⁺ mobilization from intracellularpools, and activation of various subordinate protein kinases. Finally,there is stimulation of the production and temporally defined pulsatilerelease of the gonadotropins FSH and LH. The two hormones aretransported via the circulation to the target organs the testes andovaries respectively. There they stimulate the production and release ofthe appropriate sex hormones. In the opposite direction there is acomplex feedback mechanism by which the concentration of the sexhormones formed in turn regulates the release of LH and FSH.

In the male organism, LH binds to membrane receptors of the Leydig cellsand stimulates testosterone biosynthesis. FSH acts via specificreceptors on the Sertoli cells and assists the production ofspermatozoa. In the female organism, LH binds to the LH receptors of thetheca cells and activates the formation of androgen-synthesizingenzymes. FSH stimulates proliferation of granulosa cells of certainfollicle stages via the FSH receptors thereof. The androgens which areformed are converted in the adjacent granulosa cells to the estrogensestrone and estradiol.

A number of disorders distinguished by benign or malignant tissueproliferations depend on stimulation by sex hormones such astestosterone or estradiol. Typical disorders of this type are prostatecancer and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in men, and endometriosis,uterine fibroids or uterine myomas, pubertas praecox, hirsutism andpolycystic ovary syndrome, and breast cancer, uterine cancer,endometrial cancer, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer in women.

Since its discovery in 1971 by Schally et al. (Schally A et al., Science1971, 173: 1036-1038) more than 3000 synthetic analogues of natural LHRHhave been synthesized and tested. Peptide agonists such as triptorelinand leuprolide have been established for many years successfully in thetherapy of gynecological disorders and cancers. However, thedisadvantage of agonists is generally that they stimulate LHRH receptorsin the initial phase of use and thus lead to side effects via an initialincrease in the sex hormone levels. Only after downregulation of theLHRH receptor as a result of this overstimulation can the superagonistsdisplay their effect. This leads to a complete reduction in the sexhormone levels and thus to pharmacological castration with all the signsand symptoms. This disadvantage is associated with the impossibility oftargeted adjustment of the level of sex hormones via the dosage. Thus,therapy of diseases which do not require a total reduction of the sexhormone levels to the castration level, such as, for example, benigntissue proliferations, with an agonist is not optimal for the patient.

This has led to the development of peptide LHRH receptor antagonists, ofwhich, for example, cetrorelix (Cetrotide®) has been successfullyintroduced for controlled ovarian stimulation in the context of thetreatment of female infertility. The antagonists inhibit the LHRHreceptor immediately and dose-dependently, and thus lead to an immediatereduction in the plasma levels of testosterone or estradiol andprogesterone. The peptide antagonists are, however, somewhat less potentthan the agonists, and thus higher doses must be given.

Reviews of the clinical applications and the potential of LHRH agonistsand antagonists are given by Millar R P et al. (Millar R P et al.,British Med. Bull. 2000, 56: 761-772), Felberbaum R E et al. (FelberbaumR E et al., Mol. Cell. Endocrinology 2000, 166: 9-14) and Haviv F et al.(Haviv F et al., Integration of Pharmaceutical Discovery andDevelopment: Case Studies, Chapter 7, ed. Borchardt et al., PlenumPress, New York 1998).

Besides the treatment of malignant and benign neoplastic diseases,further possible applications are controlled ovarian stimulation in thecontext of in vitro fertilization, fertility control (contraception),and protection from unwanted side effects of radio- or chemotherapy, thetreatment of HIV infections (AIDS) and of neurological orneurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Specific LHRHreceptors have not only been found on pituitary cells, but also on cellsin various tumors, e.g. of the breast and ovaries. These receptors mightmediate a direct antiproliferative effect of LHRH receptor antagonistson the tumor.

The peptide LHRH receptor agonists and antagonists are mostlydecapeptides whose bioavailability is inadequate for oraladministration. They are typically given as solutions for injection oras depot formulation, subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Thisapplication is associated with inconveniences for the patient, and thecompliance suffers. In addition, synthesis of the decapeptides iscomplicated and costly.

Compared with peptide LHRH receptor agonists and antagonists, as yet nonon-peptide compound is approved and in clinical use for any of thepossible indications.

It is known that chemical substances form solids which exist indifferent order states which are referred to as polymorphic forms ormodifications. The various modifications of a polymorphic substance maydiffer greatly in their physical properties. The compounds of theinvention can exist in various polymorphic forms and certainmodifications may moreover be metastable.

According to a further aspect, the object of the invention hassurprisingly been solved by providing a process for manufacturing thecompounds of the invention.

The tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives (compounds of the invention) asillustrated herein are ligands of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Thus, the aforementioned compounds of the invention are suitable for thetreatment and/or prophylaxis of physiological and/or pathologicalconditions mediated by G-protein coupled receptors or physiologicaland/or pathological conditions which can be influenced by modulation ofthese receptors, and thus prevented, treated and/or alleviated.

For the purpose of the present invention, the term “treatment” is alsointended to include prophylactic treatment or alleviation.

The term “(GPCR) receptor ligand” or “ligand” is intended to refer forthe purposes of the present invention to every compound which binds inany way to a receptor (the receptors in the present invention being GPCRreceptors) and induces activation, inhibition and/or another conceivableeffect at this receptor. The term “(GPCR) receptor ligand” or “ligand”thus includes agonists, antagonists, partial agonists/antagonists,inverse agonists and other ligands which cause an effect at the receptorwhich is similar to the effect of agonists, antagonists, partialagonists/antagonists or inverse agonists.

The term “modulation” or “modulated” is intended to refer for thepurposes of the present invention to as follows: “activation, partialactivation, inhibition, partial inhibition”. In this case, it is withinthe specialist knowledge of the average person skilled in the art tomeasure and determine such activation, partial activation, inhibition,partial inhibition by means of the usual methods of measurement anddetermination. Thus, a partial activation can be measured and determinedin relation to a complete activation; likewise, a partial inhibition inrelation to a complete inhibition.

The terms “inhibiting, inhibition and/or retardation” are intended torefer for the purposes of the present invention to as follows: “partialor complete inhibiting, inhibition and/or retardation”. In this case, itis within the specialist knowledge of the average person skilled in theart to measure and determine such inhibiting, inhibition, and/orretardation by means of the usual methods of measurement anddetermination. Thus, a partial inhibiting, inhibition and/orretardation, for example, can be measured and determined in relation toa complete inhibiting, inhibition and/or retardation.

The compounds of the invention being ligands of GPCR receptors aresurprisingly characterized by a strong binding affinity to suchreceptors, preferably to the GnRH/LHRH receptor, compared to known priorart compounds.

Due to their surprisingly strong receptor binding, the compounds of theinvention can be advantageously administered at lower doses compared toother less potent binders while still achieving equivalent or evensuperior desired biological effects. In addition, such a dose reductionmay advantageously lead to less or even no medicinal adverse effects.Further, the high binding specificity of the compounds of the inventionmay translate into a decrease of undesired side effects on its ownregardless of the dose applied.

The compounds of the invention being ligands of GPCR receptors aresurprisingly characterized by a strong inhibition of luteinizing hormone(LH) secretion, which is at least equivalent or even superior to that ofknown prior art compounds.

In addition, the compounds of the invention being ligands of GPCRreceptors surprisingly show more advantageous hormone suppression. Thus,for example, in the treatment of endometriosis or uterine myomas inwomen, a reliable, therapeutically effective and controlled reduction inthe estradiol level may be achieved without chemical castration beingbrought about and hormone withdrawal manifestation which aredisadvantageous for the patients recurring. In the treatment of benignprostate hyperplasia (BPH) in men, for example, a pronounced, deeperand/or longer-lasting reduction in the testosterone level may beachieved, but likewise without reaching the castration level and/orcausing disadvantageous hormone withdrawal manifestations.

Furthermore, the compounds of the invention, being of non-peptidicnature, are resistant to degradation by enzymes of the gastro-intestinaltract. Hence, they offer the advantage to be given by oral route. Theysurprisingly display an improved metabolic stability, in particularmicrosomal stability, an improved solubility, in particular in acidicmilieus such as gastric juice, and/or an improved bioavailability.Hence, again an advantageous dose reduction may be achievable which maycause less or even no adverse medicinal effects.

The compounds of the invention, being characterized by novel C-terminusmodifications, advantageously show improved receptor binding affinity,improved metabolic stability as well as improved solubility, each andall of which are supposed to be attributable to the novel C-terminusmodifications.

According to a further aspect, the object of the invention hassurprisingly been solved by providing the compounds of the presentinvention or pharmaceutical compositions as described herein for use asa medicament.

According to another aspect, the object of the present invention hassurprisingly been solved by providing the use of the compounds of theinvention or pharmaceutical compositions as described herein for themanufacture of a medicament for the treatment and/or prophylaxis ofphysiological and/or pathological conditions mediated by G-proteincoupled receptors or of physiological and/or pathological conditionswhich can be treated by modulation of these receptors. Likewise,corresponding medicaments comprising at least one compound of theinvention or at least one pharmaceutical composition as described hereinfor use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of physiological and/orpathological conditions mediated by G-protein coupled receptors or ofphysiological and/or pathological conditions which can be treated bymodulation of these receptors are also comprised by the presentinvention.

In a preferred embodiment, these G-protein coupled receptors areselected from the group consisting of “GnRH receptor, LHRH receptor,neurokinin family receptor, NK₁ receptor, NK₂ receptor”. Particularlypreferred is the GnRH/LHRH receptor.

As illustrated supra, the compounds of the invention can acts asmodulators of these GPCR receptors. In a preferred embodiment, thecompounds of the invention act as GnRH receptor antagonists, LHRHreceptor antagonists, NK₁ receptor antagonists and/or NK₂ receptorantagonists. Most preferably, the compounds of the invention areantagonists of the GnRH/LHRH receptor.

The compounds of the invention and pharmaceutical compositions asdescribed herein can be administered for the treatment and/orprophylaxis of physiological and/or pathological conditions mediated byG-protein coupled receptors or physiological and/or pathologicalconditions which can be influenced by modulation of these receptors.

For the purpose of the present invention, all physiological and/orpathological conditions are intended to be comprised that are known tobe mediated by G-protein coupled receptors or that are known to be ableto be influenced by modulation of these receptors.

Preferably, these conditions are benign and malignant neoplasticdiseases, male fertility control, hormone therapy, hormone replacementtherapy, controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in the context of in-vitrofertilization (IVF), female sub- and infertility, female contraception,nausea and vomiting, for example as a consequence of emetogenicchemotherapy, pain, inflammations, rheumatic and arthritic pathologicalconditions as well as the following conditions: chronic pain, panicdisorder, disturbances of mood and sleep, depression, fibromyalgia,post-traumatic stress disorder, tension headache, migraine headache,anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, bowel syndrome, irritable bowelsysndrome, stress-induced hypertension, asthma, emesis, cough, cystitisof the bladder, pancreatitis, atopic dermatitis (refer to Rupniak N M,Chapter 4.3: Substance P(NK1 receptor) antagonists, in Steckler T, KalinN H, Reul J M H M (Eds.) Handbook of Stress and Brain, Vol. 15, 2005;Duffy R A, Expert Opin. Emerg. Drugs 2004, 9(1):9-21).

Hormone therapy in this connection includes, inter alia, the treatmentof endometriosis, uterine leiomyomas, uterine fibroids and benignprostate hyperplasia (BPH). In male fertility control, the compounds ofthe invention bring about a reduction in spermatogenesis. Combinedadministration with androgens, e.g. testosterone or testosteronederivatives, such as, for example, testosterone esters, is preferred.The testosterone derivatives can in this case be administered forexample by injection, e.g. by intramuscular depot injection.

Female hormone therapy in this connection includes, inter alia, forexample, the treatment of benign hormone-dependent disorders such asendometriosis, uterine fibroids, uterine myomas (uterine leiomyomas),endometrium hyperplasia, dysmenorrhea, and dysfunctional uterinebleeding (menorrhagia, metrorrhagia), where appropriate in combinationwith other hormones, e.g. estrogens or/and progestins. Particularlypreferred are combinations of the LHRH receptor antagonists of theinvention and tissue-selective partial estrogen agonists, such asRaloxifene®.

The compounds of the invention can also be employed in hormonereplacement therapy, for example for treating hot flushes, in thecontrol of female fertility, for example by switching off the endogenoushormone cycle for controlled induction of ovulation (controlled ovarianstimulation, COS), and for the treatment of sterility within the scopeof assisted reproduction techniques (ART) such as in-vitro fertilization(IVF), as well as in female contraception.

Thus, an LHRH receptor antagonist of the invention can be administeredon days 1 to 15 of the female cycle together with estrogen, preferablywith very low estrogen dosages. On days 16 to 21 of the cycle of intake,progestagen is added to the combination of estrogen and LHRH receptorantagonist. The LHRH receptor antagonist of the invention can beadministered continuously throughout the cycle. It is possible in thisway to achieve a reduction in the hormone dosage and thus a reduction inthe side effects of non-physiological hormone levels. It is additionallypossible to achieve advantageous effects in women suffering frompolycystic ovary syndrome and androgen-dependent disorders, such asacne, seborrhea and hirsutism.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the object ofthe invention has surprisingly been achieved by providing a kitcomprising a pharmacologically active amount of at least one compound ofthe invention and/or at least one pharmaceutical composition asdescribed herein and a pharmacologically active amount of at least onefurther pharmacologically active substance as defined herein.

The compounds of the present invention and/or where appropriateadditional pharmacologically active substances or pharmaceuticalcompositions as described herein can be administered in a known manner.The route of administration may thereby be any route which effectivelytransports the active compound to the appropriate or desired site ofaction, for example orally or non-orally, in particular topically,transdermally, pulmonary, rectally, intravaginally, nasally orparenteral or by implantation. Oral administration is preferred.

The compounds of the present invention and/or where appropriateadditional pharmacologically active substances or pharmaceuticalcompositions as described herein can be administered as liquid,semisolid and solid medicinal forms. This takes place in the mannersuitable in each case in the form of aerosols, powders, dusting powdersand epipastics, tablets including coated tablets, emulsions, foams,solutions, suspensions, gels, ointments, pastes, pills, pastilles,capsules or suppositories. They can be administered in a suitable dosageform to the skin, epicutaneously as solution, suspension, emulsion,foam, ointment, paste or plaster; via the oral and lingual mucosa,buccally, lingually or sublingually as tablet, pastille, coated tablet,linctus or gargle; via the gastric and intestinal mucosa, enterally astablet, coated tablet, capsule, solution, suspension or emulsion; viathe rectal mucosa, rectally as suppository, rectal capsule or ointment;via the nasal mucosa, nasally as drops, ointments or spray; via thebronchial and alveolar epithelium, by the pulmonary route or byinhalation as aerosol or inhalant; via the conjunctiva, conjunctivallyas eyedrops, eye ointment, eye tablets, lamellae or eye lotion; via themucosa of the genital organs, intravaginally as vaginal suppositories,ointments and douche, by the intrauterine route as uterine pessary; viathe urinary tract, intraurethrally as irrigation, ointment or bougie;into an artery, intraarterially as injection; into a vein, intravenouslyas injection or infusion; into the skin, intracutaneously as injectionor implant; under the skin, subcutaneously as injection or implant; intothe muscle, intramuscularly as injection or implant; into the abdominalcavity, intraperitoneally as injection or infusion.

As already explained above, the compounds of the invention can also becombined with other pharmaceutically active substances. It is possiblefor the purpose of a combination therapy to administer the individualactive ingredients simultaneously or separately, in particular either bythe same route (for example orally) or by separate routes (for exampleorally and as injection). They may be present and administered inidentical or different amounts in a unit dose. It is also possible touse a particular dosage regimen when this appears appropriate. It isalso possible in this way to combine a plurality of the novel compoundsaccording to the invention with one another.

The compounds of the invention and/or where appropriate additionalpharmacologically active substances are converted into a form which canbe administered and are mixed where appropriate with pharmaceuticallyacceptable carriers and/or auxiliaries and/or diluents. Suitableexcipients and carriers are described for example in Zanowiak P,Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry 2005, PharmaceuticalDosage Forms, 1-33; Spiegel A J et al., Journal of PharmaceuticalSciences 1963, 52: 917-927; Czetsch-Lindenwald H, Pharm. Ind. 1961, 2:72-74; Fiedler H P, Lexikon der Hilfsstoffe für Pharmazie, Kosmetik andangrenzende Gebiete 2002, Editio Cantor Verlag, p65-68.

Oral administration can take place for example in solid form as tablet,capsule, gel capsule, coated tablet, granulation or powder, but also inthe form of a drinkable solution or emulsion. The compounds of theinvention can for oral administration be combined with known andordinarily used, physiologically acceptable auxiliaries and carriers,such as, for example, gum arabic, talc, starch, sugars such as, forexample, mannitol, methylcellulose, lactose, gelatin, surface-activeagents, magnesium stearate, cyclodextrins, aqueous or nonaqueouscarriers, diluents, dispersants, emulsifiers, lubricants, preservativesand flavorings (e.g. essential oils). The compounds of the invention canalso be dispersed in a microparticulate, e.g. nanoparticulate,composition.

Non-oral administration can take place for example by intravenous,subcutaneous, intramuscular injection of sterile aqueous or oilysolutions, suspensions or emulsions, by means of implants or byointments, creams or suppositories. Administration as sustained releaseform is also possible where appropriate. Implants may comprise inertmaterials, e.g. biodegradable polymers or synthetic silicones such as,for example, silicone rubber. Intravaginal administration is possiblefor example by means of vaginal rings. Intrauterine administration ispossible for example by means of diaphragms or other suitableintrauterine devices. Transdermal administration is additionallyprovided, in particular by means of a formulation suitable foi thispurpose and/or suitable means such as, for example, patches.

The dosage may vary within a wide range depending on type and/orseverity of the disease, physiological and/or pathological condition,the mode of administration, the age, gender, bodyweight and sensitivityof the subject to be treated.

Chemical Synthesis: General Methods for Synthesizing the Embodiments ofthe Invention

The compounds of the invention can be prepared for example in thefollowing way:

Firstly, the compounds of the invention can be synthesized by preparingthe depicted central tetrahydrocarbazole structure

where this optionally protected tetrahydrocarbazole structure alreadycontains the required substituents where appropriate as precursors or inprotected form.

The central tetrahydrocarbazole structure is obtainable, for example, bya Fischer indole synthesis, known per se. For this purpose, a suitablysubstituted cyclohexanone derivative which is provided where appropriatewith protective groups is condensed with the particular desiredphenylhydrazine derivative which is likewise suitably substituted and,where appropriate, provided with protective groups (e.g. as described byBritten & Lockwood, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. I 1974, 1824 or Maki etal., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1973, 21, 240). The cyclohexane structure issubstituted in the 4,4′ position by the radicals —COOH and —NH₂ or whereappropriate by the (protected) precursors thereof. The phenylhydrazinestructure is substituted where appropriate by the radicals R17 to R20.Phenylhydrazine derivatives which are not commercially available can beprepared by processes known to the skilled worker. Positional isomersresulting where appropriate in the condensation of the cyclohexanonederivative and the phenylhydrazine derivative can be separated bychromatographic methods such as, for example, HPLC.

The derivatization of the terahydrocarbazole unit can in principle beachieved in various ways known to the skilled worker, and as indicatedfor example in WO 03/051837 or in WO 2006/005484.

The embodiments of the invention or intermediates thereof weresynthesized either by conventional liquid phase synthesis in solution(see below) or else wholly or partly on a solid phase as described in WO2006/005484.

The synthesis of relevant building blocks like tert-butyl((S)-1-carbamoyl-2-methylbutyl)carbamate (Boc-Ile-NH₂), tert-butyl((S)-2-methyl-1-thiocarbamoylbutyl)-carbamate (Boc-Ile thioamide),(S)-2-amino-3-methylpentanamide (H-Ile thioamide),(R/S)-3-((S)-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-methylpentanoylamino)-6,8-dichloro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-3-carboxylicacid (Z—(S)-Ile-(R/S)-(6,8-Cl)-Thc-OH) and the synthesis of C-terminalsubstituted amides in solution as exemplified by the synthesis of(S)-2-{[(R/S)-3-((S)-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-methylpentanoylamino)-6,8-dichloro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-3-carbonyl]amino}-3-methylpentanoicacid ((S)—Z-Ile-(R/S)-(6,8-Cl)-Thc-(S)-Ile-OH)+R1-NH—R2 has beendescribed in WO 2006/005484,

Purification of the Crude Reaction Products (i.e. Mixtures ofDiastereoisomers) by Semipreparative HPLC

Analytical and semipreparative HPLC systems from Shimadzu; column250-50, LiChrospher® 100, RP18 (12 μm) from Merck; flow rate 60 ml/min.

Eluents: A=970 ml of water+30 ml of ACN+1 ml of TFA

-   -   B=300 ml of water+700 ml of ACN+1 ml of TFA

UV detector 220 nm.

All products were isolated by gradient elution.

The crude products are dissolved in eluent B (DMF added for products oflow solubility) and purified in portions on the column (e.g. dissolve500 mg of crude product in 15 ml of B and separate in one portion). Theseparation conditions in this case depend on the peptide sequence andnature and amount of the impurities and are established experimentallybeforehand on the analytical column.

A typical gradient is: 60% B-100% B in 30 minutes.

If the crude products are mixtures of diastereomers, they are separatedby this method.

The isolated fractions are checked by analytical HPLC. ACN and TFA areremoved in a rotary evaporator, and the remaining aqueous concentrate islyophilized.

The compounds of the present invention were prepared as indicated below.The analytical characterization of the compounds of the invention tookplace by ¹H-NMR spectroscopy and/or mass spectrometry.

The chemicals and solvents employed were obtained commercially fromusual suppliers (Acros, Avocado, Aldrich, Bachem, Fluka, Lancaster,Maybridge, Merck, Sigma, TCI etc.) or synthesized by processes known tothe skilled worker.

For the exemplary embodiments indicated below, chiral building blockswere usually employed in enantiopure form. In the case of thetetrahydrocarbazole precursor, the racemic building block was employed.Final products were purified by semipreparative HPLC and characterizedin the form of the pure diastereomers.

II) LHRH-Receptor Binding Assay

For LHRH receptor binding studies, an assay system using alpha T3-1 cellline with endogenous GnRH receptor expression was employed (Windle etal., Mol. Endocrinol. 1990, 4(4): 597-603).

Iodinated cetrorelix was used as a tracer with about 80% of peptidecapable of specific receptor association.

For displacement binding assays, the cells were incubated withapproximately 200 pM [¹²⁵l] cetrorelix and different concentrations ofunlabeled test compounds as competitor. The cell suspension in bindingmedium was layered on top of silicon/paraffin oil, incubated for 60 minat 37° C. and separated by centrifugation. The tips of the tubescontaining the cell pellet were cut off, subsequently cell pellet andsupernatant were analyzed by gamma-radiation analysis.

The amount of unspecific binding was determined by including unlabeledcetrorelix at 1 μM final concentration and was typically ≦10% of totalbinding. IC₅₀ values were calculated by using the GraphPad Prismanalysis program (GraphPad Software Inc.).

Table 3 shows the receptor binding data (absolute/normalized) ofselected compounds of the invention in comparison with pertinent priorart examples.

From the experimental data presented in the table it is evident that theselected compounds of the invention show an up to 529% higher receptorbinding affinity compared to the pertinent prior art examples.

Ill) Metabolic Stability Testing in Liver Microsomes

Subcellular fractions of different tissues can be prepared easily byultracentrifugation. Most commonly these are prepared from the liver ofanimals and human donors to gain information about the potential hepaticclearance of compounds (first-pass elimination of drugs). Human oranimal (e.g. dog, mouse, rat) subcellular fraction like livermicrosomes, or possibly the fraction called S9 have therefore become avery commonly and widely used as an in vitro model to investigate mainlycytochrome P450 dependent phase I (but also phase II) metabolism thattakes place in the liver. As enzymatic activities are stable during aprolonged storage of the microsomes (at −80° C.), microsomes do not needto be freshly prepared and are commercially available.

In order to reflect the standard proportion of the enzymes in human andanimal livers, liver microsomes are usually pooled from a number ofspecies of the same sex (or mixed-gender). By supplementing the livermicrosomes with relevant cofactors and other components it is possibleto investigate and distinguish between CYPs, flavin-containingmonooxygenase (FMO) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activities.

Selected compounds of the invention were tested for their stability inmixed-gender human liver microsomes and compared to pertinent prior artcompounds.

Under the test conditions applied (1 mg microsomal protein/mL, initialconcentration of 10 μM, and incubation for 60 minutes at 37° C.) thefollowing normalized results were obtained.

Table 4 shows the normalized microsomal stability of selected compoundsof the invention in comparison with pertinent prior art examples.

From the experimental data presented in the table it is evident that theselected compounds of the invention show an up to 1948% highermicrosomal stability compared to the pertinent prior art examples.

IV) Pharmacokinetic Study

Adult male Wistar rats weighing 278-290 g (Jinvier, France) were used inthe study. Animals were housed in a temperature-controlled room (20-24°C.) and maintained in a 12 h light/12 h dark cycle. Food and water wereavailable ad libitum.

For surgery, rats were anaesthetised with a ketamine (90 mg/kg)/xylazine(10 mg/kg) mixture, and cannulated with silicone tubing via the rightjugular vein. Prior to the first blood sampling, animals were connectedto a counterbalanced system and tubing to perform blood sampling in thefreely moving rat.

Separate stock solutions (5 mg/ml) of compound 52 of the invention andprior art substance WO 2006/005484—substance 76 were prepared in SolutolHS 15/PEG300 (3:1). The whole process was performed under constantstirring. Half of the volume of the vehicle was added first. Aftersonication (5 minutes), the second half of the vehicle was added and thevials were again sonicated. All the solutions were clear and free ofparticles or agglomerates.

Immediately before application, the dosing mixture was prepared byadding equal volumes of the stock solutions to end up with a finalconcentration of 1 mg/ml for each compound. The mixture was appliedorally to rats with an application volume of 5 ml/kg.

Blood samples (200 μl) were taken 1 hour before application and 1, 2, 4,6, 8, 12 and 24 hours after. They were centrifuged at 650 g for 10minutes at 4° C. and then the plasma was harvested and kept at −20° C.until LC/MS analysis.

The following results displayed in table 5 were obtained. FIG. 1 depictsthe area-under-the-curve (AUC) which is indicative for bioavailabilityof the compounds. As can be seen from table 5 and FIG. 1, compared tothe pertinent prior art substance compound 52 of the invention shows amore than 300% higher AUC indicative for a higher bioavailability.

V) Testosterone Suppression Experiment

Male Wistar rats weighing 248-296 g (Janvier, France) were used in thepresent study. Animals were housed in a temperature-controlled room(20-22° C.) and maintained in a 12 h light/12 h dark cycle. Food andwater were available ad libitum.

Rats were anaesthetised with a ketamine (135 mg/kg)/xylazine (10 mg/kg)mixture, and cannulated with silicone tubing via the right jugular vein.Prior to the first blood sampling, animals were connected to acounterbalanced system and tubing, to perform blood sampling in thefreely moving rat.

The dosing solutions were prepared immediately before application. Thepo solution was obtained by dissolving the compound 54 (TFA salt) of theinvention in Solutol HS15/PEG300 (3:1).

A group of control rats was applied with the po vehicle (5 ml/kg) andthe compound 54 of the invention. A baseline of testosterone level wasestablished by two blood samples taken at −1 and 0 h. At time 0 (0 h),the compound was applied and blood samples (200 μl) were taken 1, 2, 4,6, 8, 12, and 24 h post-dose after po.

The blood samples were collected in heparinized tubes and stored on ice.They were centrifuged at 3000 g (10 min, 4° C.). Plasma was harvestedand kept at −20° C. until being assayed.

The concentrations of testosterone in the rat plasma samples weredetermined using the Testosterone ELISA (EIA-1559) from DRG Instrumentsaccording to the manufacturer's instructions. This assay is based on thecompetition between unlabeled testosterone from the sample and a fixedamount of horse-radish peroxidase conjugated testosterone for thebinding sites of a monoclonal testosterone antibody bound to the plate.In detail, 25 μl/well of blank, standards (in duplicate) and samples (insingula) without special pre-treatment were added to the microtiterplate. After 1 h of incubation together with 200 μl/well of enzymeconjugate, the plate was washed 3 times with wash buffer, provided withthe kit. For the colour reaction, 200 μl of substrate solution wereadded to each well. The reaction was stopped after 15 min by adding 100μl of stop solution (0.5 M H₂SO₄) to each well. The plate was readwithin the next 30 min with a Spectramax Plus (Molecular Devices) at 450nm. The concentration of testosterone in the samples was calculated fromthe standard curve and is inversely proportional to the optical densitymeasured.

Due to the pulsatile release of testosterone in intact rats, twopre-treatment samples ere collected to establish baseline values priorthe administration of the compound. For data analysis, the pre-treatmenttime points (−1 and 0 h) were averaged. A paired t-test (SigmaStatsoftware; SPSS; Erkrath, Germany) was performed to determine whether ornot the treatment had an effect. This repeated measure procedure is usedto test differences of testosterone levels in the same individual beforeand after treatment. The pre-treatment mean value was compared to thetestosterone levels measured after application.

FIG. 2 shows the achieved testosterone suppression for theadministration of compound 54 (TFA salt) of the invention.
